INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS OF REFEREED PAPERS
1. A printable PDF of your full paper (which must be no more than 12 pp. long, excluding references) or of your short paper (which must be no more than 6 pp. long, excluding references), along with consent forms with the signature of each author, is due on or before 23 January 2012.

Upload your final paper to the Web submissions system by 23 January 2012. If you have questions, please contact Jane-Ellen Long, jel@usenix.org.

2. Print, sign, and fax (or scan and email to production@usenix.org) the FAST '12 Consent Form for Refereed Paper Authors.

3. Using LaTeX? Read these instructions on generating PDF from LaTeX and follow them carefully. You will save a lot of time and hassle at the deadline. Naively produced PDFs may contain such errors as incorrect ligatures, nonprinting figures or parts of figures, or incorrect or missing special characters, any of which make your paper unreadable.

4. If you wish, make use of these sample first pages (two-column format):

• LaTeX, a style file, and a bibtex file.
• Troff
• RTF file
